8000 Series BRUTE™ Drive:
The 8000 Series (also known as the BRUTE™) is a front-mount hydraulic module. It is well suited to drive most deck types and loads varying from the usual commodities hauled by the live floor industry to more severe loads such as general and demolition waste.
The BRUTE’S front mount design allows it to be matched to leakproof deck systems. Trailers can accommodate the BRUTE with few modifications to the front king pin area.
The BRUTE has a proven success record in the waste industry, noted for being reliable, tough, and long lasting. It is also customer friendly with its simple, straight forward design.
Front Mount Advantages:
- Keeps hydraulic module up and away from road salts and grime
- Shifts the weight of the floor driving mechanisms to the tractor allowing more payload
- No parts or hoses under the trailer
- Lower installation time
- Easy front access for repair, quick removal or replacement
BRUTE Hydraulic Module Features:
- Powerful, compact, and uncomplicated three cylinder unit
- Replaceable wear rings for the pistons and head manifold
- Poppet valves can be serviced with the module in place
- Wet kit requirements are the same as most live floors use
